According to the scheduled plan, the First Regiment of the Chinese Army captured Kokura Castle for two consecutive days.

The capture of Kokura Castle was equivalent to interrupting the retreat of all the Japanese troops on Kyushu Island. The Japanese were also furious and launched a mad attack on Kokura Castle.

The location of Okura Castle is very important. It is backed by the mountains, which is conducive to defense, but there is an important problem, which is that there is no water source, and once you lose contact with the outside world, it is not conducive to long-term defense.

The cute president learned about the war situation in Japan at the first time, and was deeply worried, and was moved by Xuan Jianzhang's ambitions and pride.

"Xuan Jianzhang's courage to be loyal to the country is commendable." The cute president stood in the palace of Seoul with his hands on his back, looking in the direction of Japan and sighed: "But this move is too dangerous, there is no need to force himself to the dead end."

"Emperor, Xuan Jianzhang is a brave general who is loyal to the country. I am very worried that if we cannot annihilate the Japanese army within ten days, the British and French fleets will attack Nagasaki Castle and Sasebo again, we may be defeated. The battle situation is too terrible." Princess Katrina Kaif said, feeling uneasy, knowing that the emperor doesn't like to listen to such words.

"Don't worry, I won't be angry. You're right. In this bet, our Chinese army accounts for at most 30% of the chance of winning, while the Japanese account for 70% of the chance of winning! If the British and French are helping, the Japanese will have a chance of winning! So, I'm worried." The cute president said calmly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, everything depends on God's will." Princess Katrina Kaifu held the hand of the cute CEO and winked at Lee Tae-hee and Liu Yuqing.

Li Tae-hee and Liu Yuqing hurried over to accompany the emperor.

After hearing the news that Xuan Jianzhang personally led a regiment to occupy Okura Castle, the Japanese Emperor was restless, "I didn't expect Xuan Jianzhang to be brave! He dared to cut off the retreat of our army with such a little force, forcing us to fight with them!"

Prince Shiren Akigawamiya and Hirofumi Ito dare not speak. No one expected that the battle would develop so quickly. It is hard to say that the outcome is now, and everyone is in a heavy mood.

"How about the British and French people? Didn't the British Embassy and the French Embassy in Kyoto agree to help our Japanese army when necessary? Now is the time to help them quickly and transport the 20,000 newly gathered army of Sasebo and Nagasaki Castle by sea?" asked Emperor Meiji.

Hirobuki Ito said: "Although the British and French agreed, they cannot believe all the words of these great powers. I asked several times. They all said they were communicating with the commanders of the army. In fact, they were still watching the situation or waiting for their domestic orders. However, Japan and Europe are so far apart. When will it take to receive their domestic orders? I have bribed the British and French ambassadors for a large amount of money, but the ambassadors in Kyoto are not as high as the ambassadors in Nagasaki Castle."

Emperor Meiji slapped the table, "These foreigners only know the benefits of eating! I hope our army can create miracles!"

The First Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army is the main force of the Chinese Army. The combat effectiveness is definitely not to be said, but there have been many bigger problems.

"Teacher's seat." Chief of Staff came to report: "There is already a shortage of water in the city, and it is not possible to have no water."

Xuan Jianzhang frowned. He had already thought about this problem before entering Kokura Castle. "There is no way, let everyone resist it first! Go and go to the frontline to take a look."

Not to mention the soldiers on the city defense, the command centers in the city are no longer watered.

Kokura Castle is a small city dedicated to military defense. There are only a few small wells in the city. Due to the high terrain, they do not emit much water, which is not enough for the 4,000 army.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.

The Chinese army had heavy artillery and Japanese light mountain artillery, most of which were from Americans and Germans. Although they were not very powerful, they also had some effect when attacking the city.

In terms of rifles, although the Chinese president's Type 1878 rifle is much advanced, its number is limited. This advantage will not be too big in front of five times the enemy.

The battle of the city defense was extremely fierce. The Japanese attacked 24 hours a day and were already crazy.

This battle was not only for the Chinese army but also for the Japanese. The Chinese army would be short of water in the city, and the Japanese would be short of food after fighting for a long time, because the Okura Castle occupied by the Chinese army was a supply line connected to the outside of Kyushu Island.

"The teacher's seat is here."

"The teacher's seat is here."

With Xuan Jianzhang's arrival, the soldiers greeted Xuan Jianzhang while fighting.

Xuan Jianzhang smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, I'll fight with you!"

With Xuan Jianzhang here, everyone fought even more vigorously. After more than ten minutes, a large wave of Japanese offensives were finally repelled.

Xuan Jianzhang's pistol and bullets were all fired, "Brothers, you are all good!"

"We are all Huacui Party, and we are willing to be loyal to the Chinese country and to His Majesty the Emperor!" Although the officers and soldiers were thirsty, they were still very motivated.

Xuan Jianzhang nodded with relief, "Okay, it's worthy of being the first field division of our Chinese army! Yes, we must be loyal to Your Majesty! When the person is in the position, we will waste our lives with the Japanese. Every bullet kills a Japanese. With our ammunition, it is no problem to wipe out these 50,000 Japanese! Our Chinese army soldiers are invincible in the world! Without water, we will still fight the enemy!"

"Yes, Master." Everyone answered.

"If there is no water, let's go and grab it! One Chinese army can be worth ten Japanese!" Xuan Jianzhang said heroically to the Chief of Staff beside him: "Go back to get my bullets, I will fight with everyone here, and the command center will be placed on the top of the city! I, Xuan Jianzhang, will not die, Xiaokura Castle is in the hands of our Chinese army, and no Japanese can escape!"

"Secretary, everyone understands what you mean, but this is too dangerous. You will still command the battle in the city, right?" Chief of Staff and a group of Chinese soldiers around him persuaded.

The Tianshou Pavilion in Kokura City is 28.7m high, the stone wall is 18.8m high, and the total height is 47.5m. The Tianshou Pavilion adopts a unique construction method. There are no eaves between the fourth and fifth floors, and the fifth floor is larger than the fourth floor, which is called the Tang Jian style.

The stone walls of the city are not made of cut flat stones, but are made of stones in their original form.

Defense is not a big problem, the key is still the problem of water shortage.

Xuan Jianzhang smiled slightly: "One can die if our Chinese army is dead, because with the spirit of His Majesty, why can't I, Xuan Jianzhang, die? Don't say anything, just show your energy when you hit the Japanese later."

Everyone laughed and cheered in unison.

The Chinese soldiers gritted their teeth and persevered for another three days in the absence of water!

During the three days, the Japanese and Chinese troops were expending rapidly, and the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment fought fiercely on the periphery.

"It's been three days." Lee Tae-hee said softly.

The cute CEO stood up, stared at his eyes, and began to feel a little panicked. Unexpectedly, the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment took three days to open the encirclement and meet with the First Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army. If the three regiments of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army could be squeezed into a fist and gathered together, the Japanese would really have no place to cry. However, the situation is getting worse now.

"I have confidence in Jianzhang." President Meng whispered: "The key is that the progress of the Second and Third Regiments is too slow!"

"The Japanese's defense is very fierce. When we rushed over, they just used their bodies to fight with us, relying on their huge advantages in military strength." Li Tae-hee sent the telegram to the emperor.

The cute president has read the message and put it down, "The Japanese won't be happy for long!"

Another day passed.

Xuan Jianzhang himself began to be a little shaken. He felt that he had made the wrong move by forcibly occupying Kokura Castle and cutting off the Japanese's retreat? He felt that he could not hold on, but it was no longer easy to break through now. Kokura Castle was surrounded by the Japanese like an iron barrel.
